Event Details

with Toby Hemenway

Food forests, or edible forest gardens, are life-filled places that not only provide food for people, but habitat for wildlife, carbon sequestering, biodiversity, natural soil building, beauty and tranquility, and a host of other benefits. This workshop covers the basics of designing, planting, and maintaining a many-layered woodland garden of fruit and nut trees, perennial and annual vegetables, and flowers. In this class Toby gives you both the theory behind food forests and a wealth of practical information, including which plants to use, where to start, and what to expect as your food forest grows.

Spokane Regional Urban Agriculture Meeting

With your help, I would like to create a regional urban agriculture program incorporating community gardens, farmers markets, food banks, and green service groups into one influential regional organization.The ultimate goal of this organization would be to affect change in our community by expand our local food network, empower individuals to be active in the community, and grow our local food economy.

If you are interested in developing such an organization please join me at the Spokane Public Library Downtown Branch on Wednesday the 18th of December 6pm to 8pm The meeting will be held in room 1A which is located to the west of the entrance at Lincoln and Main, in the gallery.
